PLANTING GUIDE

Soil: Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil. Prefers organically rich, humus, moisture-retentive soils.
Light: Part shade to full shade. Takes full sun in cool summer climates.
Water: Water regularly until established. During dry spells, provide your plant with supplemental water, aiming for about 1 inch of water weekly, including rain.
Spacing: 6 - 10 inches
Fertilizing: Application of a slow release balanced fertilizer in spring should provide adequate feeding for the growing season.
Winterizing: Violas benefit from a winter mulch applied when temps are predicted to be in the 20s. Pine straw or shredded leaves 2-4 inches thick should provide protection, and should be raked back in early spring as temperatures warm to above freezing.  
Maintenance & pruning: Remove frost-damaged flowers and old, faded flowers to reduce chances of fungal blight diseases. Reblooms consistently if sheared back by half when blooming begins to decline. Can be divided every 3 years in spring or fall.
